how you start the story is good but that uneven twist makes bad taste to your story
He's valuable but they treat him like dirt? They really are an ungrateful bunch aren't they? What happens if he gets too old or if the project succeeds before he dies? Will they kill him or wipe his mind and dump him out in the middle of nowhere to die in the streets as a brain dead hobo? How callous are these authoritarian goons that they would dehumanize their so called savior?
I enjoy most of your stories, but this one would benefit quite a bit if your characters were developed a bit more and perhaps if RIAC 7 stayed true to character or at the very least if it was a bit more logical... for ex: THEY would never leave the worlds only Donor X Unobserved with some rudimentary clone... I would imagine there would be one way mirrors for observation and he would need to be tested like a lab rat. Either way constant monitoring by humans to some degree
Somewhat like A Boy and His Dog (1975) only without the main character with the will or means of escape. Not much of a story here if Donor X is a hapless victim
I may add more after I’ve finished but one minor comment to this sci-fi tale. You are a primate.

Too bad you went the submissive route with this. I’m not against it, it just does nothing for me.
